If your gut has been sending you SOS signals, such as bloating, sluggishness, or that foggy feeling that just won’t quit, one of the best places for you is MAYRLIFE in Altaussee, Austria. It's one of the best wellness clinic and it can give your digestive system a deep, lasting reset.

Mayrlife is a sleek, modern retreat hugging the shores of Lake Altaussee, in the Alps in Austria. It’s stunning, sure, but it’s what happens inside those walls that makes Mayrlife a standout for gut health. 

The MAYRLIFE Medical Health Concept

MAYRLIFE isn’t your typical spa getaway. It’s a medical health resort rooted in the pioneering work of Dr. Franz Xaver Mayr. Over 100 years ago, he connected the dots between gut health and overall vitality, creating the Mayr Cure.

MAYRLIFE takes this legacy and runs with it, evolving it into the MAYRLIFE Medical Health Concept.

When you arrive, you’re not just handed a generic detox plan. Instead, you kick things off with a detailed medical assessment: bioimpedance analysis to measure your body composition, bloodwork to spot inflammation or deficiencies, and even a signature abdominal diagnostic where a doctor gently presses on your belly to feel how your gut’s holding up. It’s thorough, a little old-school, and incredibly specific to you.

Fun fact: That hands-on abdominal check? It’s a MAYRLIFE hallmark, straight from Dr. Mayr’s playbook, designed to pinpoint tension or sluggishness in your digestive tract.

Food as Medicine, with a Mayrlife twist

At Mayrlife, meals aren’t just sustenance. They’re medicine. The kitchen churns out alkaline, anti-inflammatory dishes tailored to your diagnostic results. You might start your day with a spelt roll (gluten-free if needed) and a smear of sheep’s yogurt, or sip on a fennel tea infused with local herbs.

Lunch could be a light vegetable consommé with a drizzle of Altaussee pumpkin seed oil, sourced right from the region ; while dinner’s kept minimal, maybe a small bowl of steamed root veggies.

The rule? Chew each bite 40 times. Yes, 40. It’s a nod to Dr. Mayr’s belief that digestion starts in your mouth, and it’s oddly satisfying once you get the hang of it.

What’s really unique? The Mayrlife bread: a dense, nutrient-packed loaf made fresh daily, often paired with their famous herbal spreads. And if your gut needs extra TLC, they might prescribe their bespoke fasting protocol, swapping solids for cleansing broths made with local mineral-rich water. It’s all served in a glass-walled dining room overlooking the lake, so you’re feeding your soul while you’re at it.

Signature Treatments

Mayrlife doesn’t stop at diet. Their treatment menu is a gut-health dream, blending local traditions with high-tech care. One standout is - of course - the Colonic Hydrotherapy. It's a profound reset for the gut.

Then there’s the daily ritual of drinking Epsom salts at dawn, served in a crystal glass with a view of the misty mountains. It’s a gentle nudge to get your digestion moving.

Other highlights? The MAYRLIFE abdominal massage, where a therapist uses rhythmic kneading to ease gut tension (it’s weirdly soothing), and the liver wrap: a warm flaxseed pouch strapped on while you melt into a waterbed. They’ve even got a futuristic edge with options like the Super Medical Check, a full-body scan that tracks everything from gut pH to oxidative stress. It’s this mix of rustic Alpine remedies and precision diagnostics that makes MAYRLIFE feel so one-of-a-kind.

A Reset That Sticks

A week at MAYRLIFE (starting at around USD 6,000 with the Mayrlife Classic program and a Comfort Room), promises more than a quick fix. Guests often leave with less bloating, brighter skin, and a spring in their step, but the real win is what happens after.

You’ll get a take-home plan with recipes (hello, MAYRLIFE-inspired buckwheat porridge), chewing tips, and even access to their online follow-up consultations. Over 60% of visitors come back, some booking their next stay before they’ve even unpacked. That says something.

Ideal duration at Mayrlife

The minimum stay is 7 days, but regulars swear by the 14-day program for a deeper gut overhaul.

Why MAYRLIFE Stands Out

It’s not a casual weekend escape. MAYRLIFE is a gut-health bootcamp with five-star vibes. The setting alone, with its crisp mountain air and lakefront trails, is worth the trip. Add in the hyper-personalized care, the salt-kissed treatments, and a team that’s obsessive about your well-being, and you’ve got a retreat that’s tough to top.

Whether you’re battling chronic digestive woes or just want to feel lighter and sharper, MAYRLIFE delivers a reset that’s as luxurious as it is life-changing.
